Agnès Varda’s extraordinary late-career renaissance began with this wonderfully idiosyncratic, self-reflexive documentary in which the French cinema icon explores the world of modern-day gleaners: those living on the margins who survive by foraging for what society throws away.
Join the festival team in The Clearing after the film for an informal community meal and discussion. Please note: tickets for the meal must be booked separately.
